The battle simulation was still going on, and the audience was already tense.
Audience reaction in the previous chapter.
"Uh... doesn't that hurt?" said Laras, seeing Jiyan and Leonardo shot.
"Of course it hurts, just look at their reactions to endure the pain, is it fake?" said Johan.
"Ah... I thought it was just a joke." Hana said.
"Didn't I talk that seriously, and you still don't believe me?" said Johan.
"Well, it seems that uncle lies a lot." Amelia said.
"Don't call me om! And I never lie." said Johan.
"Really?" said Bilgard, looking at the other Lampart.
"But are they okay? It looks quite dangerous." said Britta.
"No need to worry, this system also has its safeguards. If the user cannot endure the pain then they will be automatically transferred to their real body." said Johan.
Even so, the women were still worried to hear it. "Never mind, just calm down, they're all men." Luna said, trying to comfort.
Then they witnessed another battle where the blue team tried to counterattack the red team.
"Damn, where are they hiding?" said Steven, peering around through the building that Radit had previously occupied to aim at them from the distance of the forest.
"Hey, Steven, how did you do that?" said a curious Jiyan.
"That was? What did I do?" said Steven.
"That, you just threw a smoke grenade, how come it got that far?" said Jiyan.
"Oh that, you know that electric power has a speed advantage?" Steven said.
"Yes, I know, but how could I?" said Jiyan.
"It's easy, just speed up the movement of your hand and squeeze the force between your fingers to push it further." Steven said.
"It's only been a few days since our power was activated, how can you think that." Gilbert said.
"Ehm... don't underestimate people who play computers a lot, when I'm bored I often watch movies and animations." Steven said, bragging a bit.
"Hey, don't keep talking, find their location." Leonardo said, over the radio.
"Uh, did you hear Leo? It turns out that my radio is on." Jiyan said.
"Even if you say so, I can't find it." Steven said, peeking out again.
"Hey Jiyan, that's a drone on your back, right?" said Gilbert.
"Yes, this is a drone for tracking and marking enemies through these glasses." Jiyan said.
"Why don't you use the drone to track the enemy's location." Gilbert said, showing a flat face to Jiyan.
"Ah, yes I forgot, because when I took it, the function I read was only to follow while marking the location of enemy fire up to 700 meters away." said Jiyan.
"Ah....700 meter itu lumayan luas, cepat gunakan itu dan periksa bangunan di depan sana." ujar Gilbert.
"Yes - yes, no need to be so angry." said Jiyan, while activating the AI-R Drone.
"Okay, let's find them with this." Jiyan said, controlling the drone. The drone traveled low and hid. It checked the two shops in front of it, but there were none.
Leonardo happened to spot a drone flying between the buildings.
"Hey, is that your drone Jiyan?" said Leonardo.
"Yes, it's mine, I'm tracking the enemy." Jiyan said.
After some time, Jiyan found one of the enemy's locations. He was three buildings away from their position on the right.
"Yeah, I managed to find one." said Jiyan.
"Where?" said Steven.
"He is three buildings ahead of us on the right." said Jiyan.
"We can't see it from here." Steven said.
"Leo, can you see them?" said Steven.
"No, I didn't see anything." Leonardo said.
"He's downstairs, a bit towards the center of the room, apparently hiding." Jiyan said.
Leonardo then moved to the left building to get a better look at the hiding red team.
"I didn't see it," Leonardo said.
"Did you see the table that was knocked over? Well, that's behind it," said Jiyan. Leonardo looked around the room from the building opposite, but there were several tables in a fallen position that blocked the view.
"Hey Jiyan, which table?" said Leonardo.
"At the back, from your position on the left," Jiyan said.
"Oh that one, ok fine. Now look for another one," Leonardo said.
"Yes, Captain," said Jiyan.
Jiyan continued to carefully explore the buildings one by one, after some time the location of the second red team was found.
"I did it, I found the second one," Jiyan said.
"Where is he? Where is he?" said Steven.
"Two buildings to the left of Leo," said Jiyan.
"Damn, I can't see it from here," Steven said.
"He swore on the first floor of the building and monitored the road," Jiyan said.
"Good, mark it, then look for it again," Leonardo said over the radio.
"No, this is the limit of the range," said Jiyan.
"What's next, then, Leo?" said Gilbert.
"Hm...then we take the initiative to attack," Leonardo said.
"Oho...that's the sentence I was waiting for," Steven said.
"Gilbert, you brought a bazooka, right?" said Leo.
"Yes, I brought a Panzerfaust-4 with only two bullets," said Gilbert.
"That's it, shoot the building next to me. Then Steven, now you approach the building next to me through the back. If Gilbert has fired, attack him immediately. Then Jiyan, you continue to monitor the field and see the position of the third person," Leonardo said.
"Ready," the three of them said, then Steven headed for the location of the building next to Leonardo's where the red team was. After some time, Steven had reached the back of the building and prepared to attack.
"Are you in position? Then Gilbert, now!" said Leonardo.
Radit, who was monitoring the enemy from the end of the street, saw Gilbert coming out of the building holding a bazooka and seemed to be aiming it at the building where Raka was hiding.
"Raka, go! Bazooka!" Radit said over the radio and shot Gilbert.
Gilbert squeezed the trigger and fired. Raka, who was shocked, jumped back to avoid the window. At the same time as Gilbert pressed the trigger, he was shot and the building where Raka was hiding was destroyed on the front floor.
"Gilbert's been shot!" said Jiyan over the radio.
"Find the shooter's position!" said Leonardo.
"I don't know, I didn't hear anything! But judging from the direction Gilbert was shot, it looks like he was at the end of the building's street," Jiyan said, then checked on Gilbert and pulled him into the building.
"Are you okay?" said Jiyan.
"Ah...my right hand is shot, it hurts," said Gilbert. "Hang in there, I'll inject some healing," said Jiyan.
"Raka, are you okay!?" Radit said over the radio, for a while there was no answer from him but little by little the voice was heard.
"Yeah, I don't know why, I guess I got lucky," Raka said.
"Bang Raka, I'll help you," Fauzan said, standing up from his hiding place.
"Fauzan, don't!" said Radit.
Not having heard Radit's warning, he immediately stood up. Fauzan was surprised when he looked in front of him that Leonardo was already preparing to press the trigger of his gun, and Leonardo said "Surprise!" he said and pressed the trigger.
Fauzan immediately hid, but was hit by several shots. Fauzan immediately used his healing injection.
"You're still alive, right?" said Steven.
"Damn, there are people." said Raka.
"Now feel this." said Steven, pointing his gun at Raka and ready to fire.
However, Raka had already anticipated that. Quickly, Raka threw the grenade at Steven and with his strength, he jumped over the building. The explosion happened.
"Steven, are you okay?" said Jiyan after hearing the explosion. He looked out and there was Raka who had jumped off the building. Not thinking much, Jiyan immediately shot Raka. Then, Radit shot at Jiyan from a distance to protect Raka.
Raka immediately fled to the building in front of him to hide. Fauzan had finished recovering and escaped through the back door of the building.
Not staying silent, Leonardo immediately chased him. However, after entering the store building, the trap activated and exploded.
"Leo, Steven, are you all right?" Jiyan said over the radio.
"I'm fine. It's crazy to throw a grenade at close range." Steven said.
"Leo! Are you hurt?" said Jiyan.
"It's bad, ah.... Steven, I need a healing injection." Leonardo said.
"Wait, I'll be right there." Steven said, heading towards the building where Leonardo was.
Steven had arrived there and checked on Leonardo, whose leg was badly injured. "Ah, damn, I didn't bring a healing injection." Steven said.
"How come you didn't bring that during the war." Leonardo said, then took the adrenaline injection in his pocket and injected it into himself.
"Gilbert will be there. I'll go after them. Come on, Gilbert." Jiyan said over the radio and the two of them split up.
"In that case, I'll go after him too." Steven said.
"Hey, be careful. It looks like they set a lot of traps." Leonardo said. Hearing that, Steven nodded and immediately chased after Fauzan.
Steven ran to the back of the building, chasing after Raka and Fauzan. When he had just run, bullets were fired from a distance in the alley behind the shops.
On the other hand, Gilbert had arrived at Leonardo's place and administered a healing injection to him.
Steven wondered how to fight him, counterattacking under these circumstances was very difficult. Suddenly, he had a strange thought. He had seen action-shooting movies and in those scenes, the actors shot the enemy at medium range with just one shot and hit him. Steven wanted to try that, even though it was risky.
Without much thought, Steven tried to imitate the scene. For some time, he peeked at Raka and Fauzan to find out the shooting position. After a few peeks, he prepared to come out of hiding and shoot. Steven quickly shot at Raka and Fauzan.
When Steven came out of hiding, Raka's intuition told him that he would be shot and immediately dodged. Fauzan also felt his instincts because of his mutant lion powers, but he was too late, Fauzan was grazed by a bullet.
Raka wanted to shoot Steven who was open. When she looked at Steven, it turned out that he was running fast towards her while shooting. To the point, Raka was not given the opportunity to shoot back.
At that moment, Raka and Fauzan saw a grenade hovering in front of them, above their heads, and it gave off a very bright light. It turned out to be a stun grenade. Fortunately, Raka managed to close his eyes immediately, but not Fauzan who was hit hard by the shock grenade.
Raka was only affected by the shrill sound of the grenade which reduced his hearing. After being hit by the shock grenade, Steven appeared in front of them.
Steven immediately attacked Raka with his knife with his electric power. Because the effect of the shock grenade was still there, Raka took too long to act and his chest was scratched by the knife.
Looking towards the alley behind the shops, she saw Gilbert and Leonardo heading towards her. Raka thought that if they came here, then defeat was certain. Therefore, she kicked Steven hard with her elemental power to give him pause to move and at that moment she threw a smoke grenade into the alley of shops.
Seeing Raka throw a smoke grenade, Steven immediately attacked Raka using a knife. Raka avoided him and gave more distance and immediately threw a grenade towards Gilbert and Leonardo who were covered in smoke.
Gilbert and Leonardo saw the grenade flying towards them and immediately took cover. However, when they both came out of cover, unexpectedly, a shock grenade appeared right in front of them and they were both directly hit by it.
"Zan, run fast! I'll fight Steven," said Raka. Hearing this, Fauzan immediately ran away. However, Steven did not remain silent.
"Got you!" said Steven, throwing a kunai at Fauzan. The kunai hit Fauzan's left leg and knocked him to the ground.
Seeing this, Raka immediately fought Steven to keep him busy so that Fauzan could escape.
An annoyed Fauzan pointed his gun at Steven and shot him. Seeing Fauzan about to shoot at him, Steven punched Raka in the face and kicked him to the ground.
When Fauzan fired, Steven immediately put out an electric barrier and made all the bullets ricochet.
Fauzan's bullets ran out, Steven took the opportunity to throw a kunai at Fauzan's hand and hit his right hand so that the weapon fell.
Seeing Fauzan who was hit, Raka immediately attacked Steven with his gun while trying to stand up. However, Steven used the electric shield again. Raka immediately approached Steven and attacked from close range while firing his gun.
"Zan, go and heal yourself!" said Raka. Hearing this, Fauzan immediately went and healed himself.
But Steven didn't stay silent, he kept attacking Fauzan under pressure and he threw the kunai once again. However, the kunai was dropped by Raka due to the water element.
"Oh, your second power is there, huh," Steven said.
"Hehehe... thanks for the congratulations. Now, look at your bottom," Raka said. Hearing that, Steven looked at his footing and found a lot of stagnant water, then he looked at Raka again.
"Oi, what are you going to do?" said Steven.
"This... of course this!" said Raka running electricity through the water.
"Oi-oi, wait! That must hurt!" said a panicked Steven.
Steven was stung by Raka's electric element. Since Steven also has electricity, the pain is doubled.
Raka immediately fled the place and threw back a smoke grenade at the end of the alley behind the shop right beside him to block Leonardo and Gilbert's vision.
Gilbert and Leonardo who were hit by the shock grenade earlier, the effect was gone now. They slowly pierced through the plume of smoke grenades while aiming their weapons in front of them carefully yet quickly.
When the two of them passed through the plume of smoke, they saw Steven who was being gentrified.
"Hey, are you okay?" said Gilbert.
"Does it look alright, ha?" Steven stammered.
"Gilbert, give him the healing injection. Let's go after them. Steven, where are those two?" Leonardo said.
Steven pointed at the building in front of him. "Ok, good. Heal yourself," Leonardo said.
Steven only replied with a thumbs up.
On the other hand, Jiyan and Radit are facing each other. Who will win between them?
